Non-Weighted Nymphs/ Emergers

John Barrs original “Barr’s Emerger” is one of the best BWO nymph/emergers ever designed. It’s simplicity, as in all of John’s patterns, makes it work. A must have folks.

Pat Dorsey’s Mercury series of flies all work better than most. In this pattern he kicks up the venerable Pheasant Tail by the Mercury glass bead and a few other changes.

The WD 50 unweighted can be fished as a BWO nymph in shallow water conditions or as an emerger from top to bottom. A very versitile fly to have in the box.

This epoxyback scud is the most lifelike on the market. Works like a charm in rivers and lakes alike.

Pat Dorsey’s famous Medallion Midge. Lifelike with the medallion sheeting pulled back for emerging wings.

Matt McCannel's great new midge larva

Larry Kingrey’s kicked up version of the old sparkle pupa, using a CDC overwing which gives the impression of emerging antennae.

Gunkel’s Shotglass Emerger is a very productive pattern designed to fish at all depths in the water column. Very lifelike when wet.

Another versitle pattern from John Barr. Fish it alone on the swing or behind and adult caddis in the film. You can even run it on a double nymph rig.

For all you swingers out there, this is your pattern. Place this baby up and across by itself and let it do it’s work on the downstream swing. Odd hook size

This is a really innovative Caddis emerging pupa. It is really fished well on the swing behind and elk hair caddis.

A simple sparkle wing, split tail BWO emerger. Works like a charm.
